Empire Abroad, Autocracy at Home: Col. Wilkerson on the U.S.-Israel Attack on Iran

Former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, joins Paul Jay and condemns the Israeli attack on Iran as an unprovoked violation of international law—and a dangerous step toward full-scale regional war. Wilkerson argues that the U.S. is complicit, acting through Israel as a proxy.

Wilkerson analyzes the use of the military in L.A. and doesn’t mince words: the Empire is collapsing into autocracy and militarism, and the consequences could be catastrophic.
